Update run-time
descriptors

You can view, modify,
and persist deployment descriptor elements to the descriptor file within
an exploded Web application.

These descriptor
elements are engaged dynamically at runtime; you do not have to redeploy
the Web application. The descriptor elements contained in the Descriptor
tab are limited to only those descriptor elements that can be
dynamically changed at runtime.

To view and edit
descriptor information in the Console, proceed as follows:

If you have not already done so, in the Change Center of the Administration Console, click Lock & Edit (see Use the Change Center).

In the
left pane of the Administration Console, click
Deployments.

In the
right pane, click the name of the Web application whose descriptors
you want to change.

Select
the Configuration tab.

On the
General tab, define the configuration of the
application deployment descriptor file that is associated with this
Web application module by changing the values as desired.

Click
Save to save your changes.

To activate these changes, in the Change Center of the Administration Console, click Activate Changes. Not all changes take effect immediately—some require a restart (see Use the Change Center).
